Vanilla Bean Scones

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts Appetizers
Scones are the soul of British tea time. The secret is the meeting of butter and flour: they shouldn't be fully blended. Tiny butter pieces remaining in the dough create steam during baking, making the pastry flaky and tender.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 400°F (high heat is important!). Mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Tip: Hot oven raises the dough immediately (thermal shock).
2 ✓

Rub cold butter into flour quickly until pea-sized pieces remain.

Tip: Butter must stay cold to form layers instead of melting into the flour.
3 ✓

Add vanilla to milk, pour into flour, and toss until just combined. Do not knead!

Tip: The less you handle it, the softer it will be.
4 ✓

Roll to 1 1/4 inch thick, cut out, brush with egg, and bake 12-15 minutes until golden.

Tip: When cutting, don't twist the shape, just press down to ensure a nice rise.
